Florida dental license

[ariredso823]

Can anyone confirm that if you take Adex outside of Florida but apply for licensure within 1 year of taking Adex- and it’s the first state you’re applying to - the 1200 hour rule does not apply?

True, I've got mine that way. I did reach out to the Florida Board to confirm first.

You have to then practice in Florida that following year or they suspend the license, correct?

Also for this year, does FL accept manikin exam or does it have to be live patient? Thank you!

No, I actually plan to make it inactive at the biannual renewal so I pay lower fee to keep it in case I want to move to Florida.

I just looked online and it seems the fees are the same either way. Or I may be missing something

Does this mean the first state you're applying to "since passing the ADEX exam?". Meaning, I am already licensed in several states that didn't require the adex exam, if I take and pass the Adex exam outside of Florida, and Florida is then the first state I apply to since passing, I won't require 5 years of previous working history?

I passed the ADEX in early May 2021. I am planning to relocate to FL in July 2023, which is over a year from now. Should I submit my FL licensure application now, as I'm getting close to the 365-day deadline of passing ADEX, even though I won't practice there in the next 12 months? Can I let the license become inactive and re-activate it in July 2023 when I move there? If I don't get my FL license now and wait until July 2023 to apply, can I submit proof of having practicing dentistry full-time (1200 hrs) in another state for the past 2 years in order to obtain FL licensure? Thank you!

I don’t know what state you’re in but if Florida will be the first state you’re applying to since passing the CDCA exam than you should be fine, all you’ll need to do is work full time once you get the Florida license, it’s 1200 hours a year it’s not bad.

How long does it take to get FL dental license from the day of application?
